Abstract: A universal support rod for curtains and the like has telescoping sections the ends of which are threaded for being screwed onto respective receivers mountable on facing walls in axial alignment. The receivers are fixed to the walls by fasteners which are concealed within the bore of at least one of the rod section or its mating receiver or may be mounted to the walls by tension. A decorative flange may be mounted between each receiver and its respective rod section. A support member joins two or more of the universal support rods across the wall expanse. A further J-support member is used for heavy weight bearing use of the support rod.
